Health TAPESTRY brings together people, communities and health care teams. In this program, trained volunteers visit people where they live. During these visits, volunteers learn about what matters most to that person and about their health and life goals.

This information is passed on from clients to volunteers and then sent to the client’s primary health care team using special technology. This information helps the inter-professional team learn more about how they can help that person stay healthy longer. The health care team also connects with community organizations to help the person access activities and resources in their community.

The Health TAPESTRY program is seeking an Administrative Assistant and Recruitment Coordinator.

Administrative Assistant - Reporting to the Coordinator for Health TAPESTRY, the administrative assistant has a key role in supporting the Coordinator in communicating with clients and volunteers, providing program information, scheduling, and other administrative support.

Recruitment Coordinator - Volunteers for the Community Connector Project supporting the Health TAPESTRY Program. Reporting to the Volunteer Coordinator, the volunteer will provide human resources support during the day to day operations.
